VOI Baia di Tindari Resort

I recommend this resort from the bottom of my heart. Everything - honestly everything - was perfect! Accommodation - so clean and nice to stay in a room, luxurious view, loads of green palms and bushes in a resort and kitchen? I bet you put some killos on like we did :). Just tasty and a wide choice.

Nice location, good beach, warm clean sea, very good food, even steaks and every day seafood. I was very satisfied with my holiday spent there. Thanks, best regards from Prague to the nice hotel staff.......,...............,..........

The resort was wonderful, food was really good, the Bravo staff was great. The only improvement could be the quality of the VOI Concierge activities, we joined the Lipari/Vulcano one and it was expensive and unsatisfactory, I would suggest to future guests to check external activities not ones organised by the resort.

It’s amazing holiday.friendly staff,the food was amazing, the beach was very very beautiful and very relaxing,Life guards were very attentive. A huge thank to Gianluigi in the Restaurant, We always saw him rushing and walking around to ensure that the there are always food at the buffet, he even help serving food to the guest.. we had really fantastic holiday the hotel are very very clean, kudos to all the staff they are doing there job well, and hello to the spider man and sometime he was elf, my children are happy about him.

Beach The beach is always busy in the mornings. Much Quieter in the afternoons as I think lots have long lunches / siestas. The sea is clear and the perfect Luke warm temperature to cool off. Each room is allocated two sun beds and one umbrella. (That was between 4 of us). The same ones for the duration of the stay. There are some sea kayaks and paddle boards you can use early morning or late afternoon. Pool There’s one large deep main pool and two shallow kids pools. But you must wear a swimming cap (unless you’re bald!). The pool is mostly very quiet. Afternoons are busier. Maybe the sea is the preferred option being so lovely and cooler there. Food The food is generally very good. Always hot options but mostly cold options including seasonal vegetables, aubergine, courgette, etc A lot of seafood but always some meat too. An abundance of choice. There is also the Grill restaurant which is also buffet style but with the addition of the pizza oven. Alcoholic drinks aren’t included here but some lovely local wines are on the list. Drinks I have never seen so much single use plastic ever! And it’s also actively encouraged. The amount of plastic waste from that hotel must be phenomenal. I’m shocked this still happens. But it’s apparently quite normal in Italy. At the beach you can get a drink in a small plastic cup or a paper cup that holds about 100ml only. So it’s little and often and yet more waste. In the buffet, at meal times, soft drinks are limitless. But you must only fill the glass jugs. You are not allowed to fill up your water bottles. How strange. We asked at the bar to fill our water bottle. It wasn’t allowed. It had to be done with a small cup one at a time! Why?! At the bar there’s a list of drinks included and titled “for the foreign market”! The wrist bands, all residents wear, indicate if you’re all inclusive or in a soft drinks package. We paid for all inclusive but all our drinks (alcoholic or not) were in the small plastic cups. We weren’t allowed any drinks in glasses (as others did!) Consistently environmentally unfriendly. Bravo animation There seems to be a lot of entertainment and games on offer. They were very popular at the beach with the Italian families. But we weren’t encouraged to join in at all. I think I we were the only foreigners there, surrounded by Italians. I think my son and husband would’ve enjoyed the beach tennis or volleyball but we felt the animation team avoided us. We went to a show one evening but it was all in Italian so we left as pointless for us. Accommodation Our suite was quite spacious for our family. One double room and the main room with twin beds. One bathroom with a small shower. The hairdryer attached to the wall was smoking so we had to borrow from reception. Better to bring your own. In summary it’s probably a good hotel to stay at IF you’re Italian. We were misled by BA, that we booked through, that it was what we wanted. There were some friendly staff we encountered:

Look it’s for Italian people as the whole place is Italian speaking simple as that We booked through BA who misled us totally and paid extra for fully inclusive which it isn’t . There is nothing around at all all entertainment which is all in house is in Italian . The food however is great considering it’s buffet three times a day Beach great only two sun beds though per family plus some other strange inclusive drinks which are all in a plastic or cardboard .No glass allowed and the cups are so small all a bit odd and the range of drinks or as they call them cocktails but there not rum and coke is not a cocktail ! Apparently it’s Italian all inclusive !! Even water is only available by the small cup !!! Madness BA really at fault not telling the truth on the web site one restaurant only and you can go the other one called the grill only once not including drinks you pay for those ! Kids clubs beach fun etc all In Italian Staff who speak English great others give you a wide birth as not Italian ! Won’t bother with a package from BA BA not point complaining they don’t care anyway To make it clear go there if you speak Italian and you will have a good time .
